1.TITLE : SOCIOLOGY
Under the Faculty of Social Sciences
2. YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION: Under Academic Flexibility, the New Syllabus
will be implemented from June 2008 onwards in the Shivaji University Department of
Sociology only.
3. PREAMBLE: The present restructuring and preparation of new M. A. Sociology
syllabus, and introduction of Semester with Credits and Continuous Internal Evaluation
[CIE] System of Examination, has been done keeping in view the continuous
developments in sociology; in its growing knowledge resources and improvements in
pedagogic methodologies, the UGC Model Curriculum andthe recommendations of the
NAAC Committee.
The present exercise of revision of sociology syllabus is guided by three broad teaching
orientations: (i) job orientation (to prepare students to make use of employment
opportunities), [2] knowledge orientation (development ofpersonality and sharpening ofintellectual skills among the students), and [3] social orientation (inculcation of social
commitment among the students and making them responsible citizens).
Keeping these teaching orientations in mind, syllabus revision has been done with the
following objectives of sociology education: (i) to bring adequate correspondence
between the changing social reality and the content of courses in sociology (ii) to equip
the students to critically understand and interpret social reality, (iii) to develop among
the students a distinctly sociological perspective on socio-economic and cultural reality,
(iv) to enhance the social sensitivity and sensibility of the students, and (v) to help
students acquire skills that will be useful to them in their personal, social and
professional life.
While revising the sociology curriculum, we have kept in mind the relevance of
sociology for policy formulation and evaluation of policies at the regional and national
level, updating the reading lists and introduction of practical/fieldwork component and
innovations in the instructional methodologies [supplementing the lecture method with
group discussions and seminar presentations, use of audio-visual aids, use of computers
/internet in research].

15. Credit System:
Introduction:
Students can earn credit towards their post-graduation by way of credit allotted
to the papers or to the course. Credit system permits to follow horizontal mobility
towards the post-graduation courses irrespective of the boundaries of the faculties or
within the boundaries of the faculties. Besides, it provides a cafeteria approach towards
the higher education. A scheme has been worked out to put the credit system within the
framework of the present education system in the University.What is Credit?
Credits are a value allocated to course units to describe the students workload
(i.e. Lectures, Practical work, Seminars, private work in the library or at home and
examinations or other assessment activities) required to complete them. They reflect the
quantity of work each course requires, in relation to the total quantity of work required to
complete during a full year of academic study in the Department. Credit thus expresses a
relative value.
Students will receive credit through a variety of testing programmes if they have
studied a subject independently or have successfully completed department level regular
course work. The objective of credit system is to guarantee the academic recognition of
studies through out the world, enabling the students to have access to regular vertical and
or horizontal course in any Institutions or the Universities in the world.

15Mechanism of Credit System: -
Credit is a kind of weightage given to the contact hours to teach the prescribed syllabus,
which is in a modular form. Normally one credit is allotted to 15 contact hours. It is 30
contact hours in European system. The instructional days as worked out by the UGC are
180 days (30 Weeks). The paper wise instructional days with a norm of 4 contact hours
per week per paper will be of 120 days. That is 60 days or 60 contact hours per paper
shall be completed during each semester session. By converting these contact hours into
credit at the rate of 15 contact hours for each subject, there will be 4 credits allotted to
each paper.
Conversion of Marks into Grades:
The marks obtained by a candidate in each paper or practical/CIE (out of 100 or any
fractions like 80: 20 shall be converted into grades on the basis of the following
table.
Grades

The maximum credit point shall be 48 credits (i.e. 12 grade points * 4 minimum
credits) for each paper.

16/74
16Grade & Grade Points:
The students performance of course will be evaluated by assigning a letter grade
on a few point scales as given below. The grade points are the numerical equivalent of
letter grade assigned to a student in the 12 points scale. The grade and grade points and
credits shall be calculated as under: -
GRADES FGPA CREDIT POINTS
O 10 to 12
A+ 8 to 9.99
A 6 to 7.99
B+ 4 to 5.99
B 2 to 3.99
C+ 1 to 1.99
C 0 to 0.99
The grade and grade points and credits shall be calculated as under:-
1. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)- means a semester index grade ofa student calculated in the
(g1*c1) + (g2*c2) + ..
SGPA= -------------------------------------
Total number of credit offered by the student during the semester
2. Final Grade Point Average (FGPA) is the final index of a student in the
courses. The final grade point average of student in the courses will beworked out on the basis of the formula indicated below:
n n
---------- -----
ci c1 * g1
Where,
c1= Credit of the i the course (Paper)
g1= Grade point secured in each paper
n = No. of Courses (No. of papers offered - 16)
ci = Total number of the credits for whole examination (64)Standard of Passing/ Minimum Credits:
The minimum credits for M.A. Semester course (of four semesters) will be
16+16+16+16=64 credits. For continuation to the corresponding Semesters
SGPA= 1-00 credit has to be obtained by a student. And to pass each paper 4
8/13/2019 M.A.I&II Sociology
17/74
17minimum credits are required, it means 40 marks or 1 grade point is required to
pass the paper. The FGPA of the whole course shall be Minimum 3 Credits. The
required Credits for passing FGPA can be compensated from the Credit by Non-
examination. A student securing less than 3 FGPA Credits and passing in an
individual paper with minimum 4 Credits can appear any paper of his/her choice
from the course curriculum so far offered by him/her.
Evaluation: -
1. The BOS in Sociology shall lay down the evaluation system for each course.2. There shall not be rounding off of SGPA/FGPA.3. A student who fails in a course shall be required either to repeat that course or to
clear another course in lieu thereof irrespective of his/her past performance in the
semester if he/she has been awarded a final grade weighted grade of F in thatcourse.
4. A student who secures a grade higher than C in a course may be permitted toimprove grade by repeating the course provided that a student willing shall be
allowed to do so only if he/she surrenders his/her earlier grade in the course. It
will be his/her repeated performance in the course, which will be taken into
account to compute the SGPA.
5. Non-examination credit shall be counted in the overall performance or forrequired minimum credits.
6. The students shall be further graded on a scale ranging from 0 to 12. The gradesand grade points as shown below will express the level of good students.
